I enjoyed this place, and on my last night in town, I took a ride with multiple street tacos from La Luz. Not disappointment, a lot of flavor in each item I got, and the staff here was kind and quick with my to go order. It came on time and luckily it was in the late evening so not too many around to hold up a line. Maybe next time I'm in town I'll try more than the tacos. read more

La Luz Mexican Grill - Street Tacos - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Food was horrible I ask for rice and beans I get black beans and white rice tacos were horrible

Been coming here since I was a child. Hole in the wall Mexican restaurant with amazing food. I love the atomic burrito and fish tacos

They deliberately overcharged me. I was charged more than the price on the sign and when I complained they didn't fix the problem. I wouldn't go here at all - but if you do - look at your bill closely. read more

The best steak quesadillas I have ever had. Great selection of drinks. The service is super fast and they are very kind. There is a great mood throughout the building and pretty nice seats. Would recommend! read more

Something has changed and not for the better. We've been coming to La Luz for years. It's been our little place. The last 3 times my wife and I have noticed a change in the food. Lack of flavor. Overcooked and dry. Change in staff? Ownership? Ingredients? Or all the above? So disappointed... may have to find our new oasis. I do hope they figure it out. read more

Not a fan. They advertise "fresh" and yes the overwhelming helping of rice was fresh but the chicken was sparse and lacked any real flavor. There was no heat in their hottest of salsas. Not even close to authentic - very Americanized south of the border food. Service was good and I like having a salsa bar. This kept it from a 1 star review. $18 for a smothered rice burrito and a glass of water is just over the top for me. read more

Food is delicious and hot Very friendly I will be back and close by to everything food is made fresh daily read more

This place is solid. Great food, I normally get the fish tacos and they're good but my favorite is the handheld burritos on the weekdays. So good. Usually have a drink m too. read more

My wife and I both had Atomic Burritos, which were good. Not sure why it's called "Atomic", 'cuz there was no discernable heat, but they really came alive with the addition of salsa. 6 salsas are available in-restaurant and we tried all of them. Some had quite interesting flavors. It was a fun flavor adventure. Government actions have raised the cost of both the ingredients and the labor to make burritos, so I have no problem with the restaurant raising prices accordingly. What I do take issue with is having one price on the menu you select from (near the door), another price on the online menu (higher), and a third price that is actually what you pay (highest). Uncool. I also take issue with the tip-before-service expectation at this and many other restaurants. At this one, you're getting your own drinks and bussing your own trash, just like at McDonald's, so it's not clear to me why a tip is expected. read more

La Luz Mexican Grill - the interior of a restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

See all

I've been eating at La Luz for many years. I discovered their delicious fish tacos when the restaurant was located in Old Town Fort Collins. It's my favorite fish taco of many others I've tried. I like the new location on Boardwalk in mid-town. Plenty of parking and easy to get to. What makes La Luz fish tacos so great is that the fish is grilled, not deep fried, and the toppings are fresh. I usually get the tacos made with their corn tortillas, which are very good. Then there is their salsa bar. A whole bunch of flavorful choices, from mild to hot. I mix them. The staff are very friendly. When I am not quite sure what I want, they suggest things that are great. They even made some horchata to drink when I was last there. They have a good selection of craft beers, too. I like to bring guests to La Luz because it is an open space, very clean, and nice looking, not cramped the way some restaurants are. I always enjoy La Luz. read more

I know Peter was the biggest jerk you've ever met but when he owned this place it was infinitely better. I'm so done going here, and I used to love the food. Of course the only remaining location sucks, but from time to time I still crave the fish tacos or an atomic burrito. I went in to get both of them yesterday, and it set me back more than $30. The fish stunk and the remainder of the taco was just filled with all cabbage. Disgusting and a rip off. The burrito had very little meat in it. To think I paid $15 for it when I could get one with twice the protein at any number of places within a mile. Just the way that they run the store is littered with with poor decision-making. They have these black plastic bags for to go. It's just so un appetizing. And it always stinks here. It smells like sour milk. It's a shame. read more

Solid! Got the del mar burrito which is made with grilled fish and grilled shrimp - very tasty and the burrito was quite big. The chips and salsa were really tasty - was told the chips were made there. I got the mildest salsa and a couple of the spicier ones - the mildest is tasty, not very chunky and the creamy green salsa had a nice flavor and texture but it was a bit too spicy for me and the 3rd one I tried looked like it had lots of spices in it and was tasty while not being too spicy. I also got a margarita to-go which I really liked. Comparing this place to Illegal Pete's in Fort Collins which I also tried out a few days ago - I preferred everything more here. read more

Food was not good, way over priced, my taco was so stuffed I couldn't bit into it. Margaritas were absolutely awful. Fo $9.00, I'm really surprised this place is even staying open. read more

What a wonderful find...just loved coming here on Mother's Day. The owner served us and what a beautiful soul. Wonderful personality, caring, and serves fresh ingredients in everything in the menu. We had wonderful margaritas, amazing quesadilla, and stew tacos. We have found out we have found are new go to place. Love it love it love it read more

We love La Luz! The fish tacos are a delicacy. Service is always great. And it's very moderately priced.

What a great little restaurant! My burrito was delicious! My wife needs gluten free and they had great options for her. The corn tortillas were really moist. The food is fresh and the place was spotless clean! read more

Great food. Good service. I love the fish tacos. They don't use fried fish it's grilled which in my opinion it's so much better.

Dylan 7/10 Kacie 8.5/10 We both ate the fajita burritos. The burritos had GREAT FLAVOR, but they did end up falling apart half way through them. They were definitely WORTH THE PRICE. The complementary salsa was a good piece but there are no complementary chips. An overall good place to go, but no big differentiator compared to other food places. read more

Very mediocre Mexican food for more than chipotle/qdoba prices so I'd go for those instead. I've been slightly corrupted from having good Mexican food it Mexico and always hope to find places with the same style and feeling here but this is definitely more like a chipotle where you order at the front and they make it for you. I got a burrito bowl for $10 and it was pretty small. The flavors were fine but nothing special really. One cool thing was the salsa bar which had a variety of salsas but all of them didn't really have much taste... My mom ordered fish tacos and one bite in we both tried and spit it out... the bitter fish bile flavor was so strong. We asked for a replacement and they gave us a shrimp taco instead. Probably one of the worse tacos I've had sadly - lots of thickly sliced cabbage which just gives it a raw taste and some shrimp on the bottom of it. The flavors and sauces didn't tie any of it together. Saw someone get shrimp enchiladas and that actually looked better with the whole plate of rice and beans but I probably wouldn't come back again. read more

Ermie, Herman and the staff at La Luz never disappoint. Some of the best "fast" Mexican food if you don't have time for a traditional Mexican spot....but you want better than Matador, Chipolte, Qdoba, etc.. The Salsa is made fresh, and they sell it to-go. I am literally addicted to their medium salsa. We cook with it a lot and I use it in Mexican omlettes, in ground beef tacos, and home made carnitas. Their fish tacos are better than many spots in Mexico. They have 6+ beers on tap, and great margaritas too. read more

Authentic and very tasty fresh and healthy Mexican food in Fort Collins made with pride and care. Several options, including vegan and vegetarian choices. Fresh DIY salsa bar. In addition, they have a nice selection of breakfast burritos which are a rare find in this city. read more

Totally in love with this restaurant! The food is fantastic and I love the salsa bar! The restaurant is always clean and inviting, it's clear someone put a lot of effort in. And then the staff are friendly and helpful. 5 stars! read more

This place is tucked away in a random strip mall. But so worth seeking out! We have eaten here lots and loved everything we've tried. It's inexpensive, fast and totally authentic. I like getting the carnitas nachos with a side of green chili. The carnitas melt in your mouth! My husband loves the burritos. Salsa bar is the perfect accompaniment. They have a limited drink menu. I've had better margaritas, but the food more than makes up for it. read more

Fabulous fish tacos, great prices. No fuss counter service. Just great food. Gluten free. Gluten lovers will like the burritos.

Staying at a local hotel. Went since they had vegetarian entrees. Had the special potato burrito with grilled veggies and green sauce and husband had the garden burrito and we shared chips and guacamole and husband sampled a lot of different salsas. Food was fresh, filling and delicious! Service was excellent! Will be going back. read more

La Luz is the BEST restaurant ever. I am from Pennsylvania and I would travel across the country back to Colorado a million more times just to come to La Luz. Phenomonal food, phenomenal staff, and phenomenal service. The restaurant was super clean and my group loved the environment. Someone in my group said the fish tacos are the best food that he has ever had in his life!! I got the carnitas tacos and they are also the best food I've ever had as well!! La Luz is an incredible restaurant and you HAVE to try it out!! Special thank you to Ermie, German, and Natalia for giving us an unforgettable experience! :) read more

Food is fantastic but climate control is poor. We wore jackets and it was still cold. Not the first time this has happened. We'll wait for warmweather before going back. read more

I love this place. I have celiac disease, and they're really careful and mindful of gluten. I've been here a couple of times, and it's always pretty empty which is a shame because the food is really good and very reasonably priced. The guy at the register is so happy and cheerful, he always makes my day. They're really responsible with covid too! read more

I usually have really liked this restaurant, but the last couple of times I have been there the chicken has had grit in it and it sat very heavy with me. Hopefully a temporary problem. read more

So sad. We've been coming to the Old Town location off and on for years--every time we're in Ft Collins. This year, since that location closed, we came to the Boardwalk location. Got 3 Mahi Mahi tacos and the queso with chips. The "home made" queso consisted of sautéd onion and chilies and a huge hunk of melted cheese. It was impossible as a dip. We needed spoons, so we could pile the melted cheese on chips. It wasn't appetizing at all. The tacos were nicely sized, but more cabbage than anything else. The Mahi was smothered in a sweet and spicy red sauce. Not what I expected. Salsa bar is still great, but other than that, we have no reason to return again. read more

I usually get breakfast from them, honestly everything I order just slaps so hard! Love this spot for breakfast absolutely!

I love La Luz! Super fresh & tasty. I have been going to La Luz for 20 years & I love the breakfast burritos during the week, love the pesto chicken burrito, love the steak fajita burrito, love the fish tacos, & love the chicken salad. The South La Luz location is the OG & original menu that I always loved. Don't forget, the medium salsa is great! read more

I've eaten here a number of times over the last couple of years, but regret to say quality is slipping. Good salsa bar . Fish tacos are still my favorite item on the menu. Had a combo with fish taco & spinach burrito, ride & beans. Rice & beans were best forgotten (white rice, boiled beans). Spinach burrito was just ok. A couple of days later decided to try a chorizo breakfast burrito. Was cold in the middle, and tortilla was glued together. Clearly made in advance & reheated. Not worth the money. read more

Every time I come here food is better and better! Fajitas burrito and rice and bean bowl are delicious and chipotle salsa is amazing! One of the only places in town that has a burrito you can hold with your hands and eat. read more

I really like La Luz! It helps that kids eat free on Sunday. The Boardwalk location has a slightly different menu, and you order at the counter instead of having a server come to your table, but the parking is easy peasy. Just tried the weekend breakfast (served until 1 pm) and the migas were delicious! Hubby had the chorizo fajita omelette with potatoes and said "they have a really good breakfast." My go to lunch is the veggie tacos, the nachos or the pesto chicken burrito. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

It used to be my go to place for good tacos, chips and salsa, but I am taking away 4 stars. I was surprised to see it still open recently and gave it a shot. It was not the same. The food was horrible. The website took my online order and money, but when I arrived to pick it up, the cashier didn't even know they had an online system. I should have just asked for a refund and left, but against my better judgement, I gave it a shot, and it was horrible. New ownership? It won't last, the food was low quality, stale and bland. read more

I'm sorry but for a Mexican restaurant absolutely nothing authentic. The chorizo looked like dog vomit. read more

Wow! I arranged for catering for my wife's birthday . Ermie the catering director blew my socks off. She sat down with me and went through all the options asking about my wife's favorites. The delivery was world class. They came and set it all up--zero hassle. The food was perfect. My wife and all the guests loved it. Locally owned also makes me very happy to have supported them. If you want Mexican food catered in The Fort Collins area, this is the place. Skip the canned catering menus and talk to La Luz..... read more
